NO MORE DRIVEN WE'LL LITIGATION.
The Patentees Will Not Try to Collect Any
More Money for Alleged InfringmentS.

''What are you going to do about this decision
In the driven well casel' asked Journal re-
porter of Attorney Franklin.
Nothing guess was his reply. '"There has
been a petition for a rehearing fled, I under
stand, but / have no idea that the court will re-
verseits opinion"
'.Isnt this decision different from what they
had decided beforeY'
mot altogether. The point on which this
case turned was not before the court in the for
mer decision. They held this tine that the
patent had been abandoned by permitting
public use of it for two years before applying
for patent. Half a dozen lower courts had held
the contrary, Judge Blatchford among them;
but the point was not before the Supreme Court
before"
3Then anyone can put down a driven well
that wants to I suppose"
Certainly, they have been doing that ever
since January Il. 1885. when the patent expired.
There have been suits for infringement for
use of wells put in since that time. and no
money collected. Money has been sent to me
several times but 1 always returned it. The
recent suits that were brought were for in
Engagements prior to that time"
Can the money paid in on the old cases be re-
coveredF
''Of course not. It was all paid on judgments
of competent courts. / have collected about $780,
600 in Indiana and paid it over to the patentees
and there is no obligation on them to refund
it-pot even moral obligation-for they con-
sidered and still consider the patent a valid
one, which should have been sustained"

THE GRAND JURY's ELECTION CASES.
No More Arrests Have Been Made-Conflict-
ing Rumors Regarding the Indictments.

There have been no more arrests of persons
indicted by the county grand jury for election
frauds, and the opinion prevails that Mr.
Sprague was the only man indicted. Among
Democrats it is said that there is man in
dicted who has not been arrested. but the at
taches OF the Sherifs Office say they have
received no more warrants charging election
frauds. There is another runor that the second
man indicted 10 a Democrat, and that there is
an attempt being made to cover up the matter.
but like a great many other rumors that have
put in circulation regarding the action of the
jury, it seems to have no foundation. The
gang" has attempted TO make as much political
capital as possible out Of the work Of the
jury. The evening the jury made its report it
Was given out among Democrats that over forty
Indictments against Republicans had been re-
turned. On Friday Democrats started the
port that several prominent Republicans had
been indicted, and the Sentinel yesterday morn
ing intimsted that Wm A. Taylor, city attorney,
was among the number. Mr. Taylor was very
indignant over the report, because the grand
jury, according to the statement of Deputy
Prosecutor Hoffman. never had any idea OF
making any investigation relating in any way to
him.
Joseph Healing, attorney for Mr. Taylor, the
colored man indicted for assaulting Warren
Banks. gave notice to Judge Irwin yesterday
that he would test the legality OF Mr.. Spencers
claim to . place Oh the jury by fling q plea il
abatement in the case of his client.
